225/50ZR18 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – All Season

Category: All Season – Ultra High Performance

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is a premium, ultra-high performance all-season tire for passenger cars, crossovers and SUVs. Ideal for true, year-round traction, this tire comes complete with SportPlus Technology, which provides responsive handling, better grip on wet roads, and extended tread life. The ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus is an upgrade from the original and performs better in dry & wet braking and handling as well as snow & ice performance. It also has a 80,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 95 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 690 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating W indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 270 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • UTQG 560 AA A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
  • Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
